EXTRA TERRESTRIAL VISITORS aka THE POD PEOPLE / Almena Films - 1983

It's WTF! Friday with Tabonga, here at The Dungeon!.. Man, do we have a brain twister with this fog laden mess of a movie!! It seems like a cheapie American flick, but, it's not, it was filmed in France! Original title is LOS NUEVOS EXTRATERRESTRES... Go figure!

Eegah!! sent over a lil' musical sound clip for our earjoyment, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button located next to the big old pod, NOW, Rufus The Gnat!.. Here's a taste of... EXTRA TERRESTRIAL VISITORS!

Most prints of the movie are crap, like this one! The MST gang kicked this one's ass real good.

A shot of the alien spaceship, a chunk of rock, as it closes in on the Earth, but, the poster shows a freakin' flying saucer!.. Hey, what gives?!!

A backwoods baffoon finds the nest of pods in a cave and starts busting them open with his staff! What do you think happens to him when mom shows up?!..

Here's the dude singing in the sound clip, his name is Rick. According to the guys in the control room, he's simply... The Best!! You can judge for yourself..

Rick and his friends head out to the great outdoors for some camping in their Winnebago.

In the meantime, this Kedso Kid finds a nice big pod in the cave (spaceship!) and takes it back to his house, then hides it from his parents like in...

A hippie chick on the campout gets attacked, so, they try to revive her with a swig of whiskey.

Hell, one good swing deserves another 'round here, so, YEE-HAW, YA'LL!!.. Hey, where's Buck?

The baby in the pod hatches and in a matter of a few minutes, it's half grown! So, Kedso Kid pulls out his Simon game and shows the thing how it works.

The little monster gets so excited that it ends up walking on the ceiling! Had to show the little Tuxedo kitty watching the antics from under the bed! I love kitties, I happen to have only seven of them!!

Definitely, the best part of this terrible flick (got a whopping 2.1 stars at IMdB) is this shower scene, even if you don't see any of the good stuff. Mom has shown up, looking for her little bambino!

Kedso Kid says goodbye to the Pod People and they just wander away into the forest! WTF!!.. Tune in tomorrow when Eegah!! will be here for show and tell with a rare title from 1963 that has the word MARS in it!

CROSSPLOT - "Dirty Double Dealer" (1969)

"Crossplot" didn't quite knock me out like I thought it would, but then, what does! New Zealander John Rowles sings the title song written by Les Reed and Barry Mason! John is most popular in his home country for a song he wrote about his sister entitled "Cheryl Moana Marie!" The main soundtrack was written by Stanley Black!

 It was fun to see what Roger Moore was doing in between Simon Templar and James Bond anyway!

 Roger Moore is Gary Fenn, a London ad executive and his idea of what's going to be the next big thing!

 There seems to only be one little problem! He shows this picture to the investors without realizing somebody switched photos for some reason! Now, he's forced to track down this girl, and he's only got 48 hours!

 Nope! Not here!!

 His search leads him to this psychedelic hippie club!

 Roger Moore gets a chance to show off his comedic side!

  Claudie Lange shows off her two best sides too as the gal in the photo, the mysterious Marla Kugash!

 When Gary Fenn comes to, he has no idea where he is, how he got there, and why there's what's left of a joint of marijuana in his ashtray! What he does know is that he's in trouble!

Marla Kugash finally gets a chance to show that she's got what it takes!!

 For some reason (They thought she overheard something important), Marla is being pursued by some very unsavory characters!

 Nice setup! Just to keep the viewer in suspense, we get this shot of Gary Fenn on a train, but it turns out only to be a stupid kid with a squirt gun!

 From this point on, it's pretty ridiculous! I thought I nodded off for a second and somebody changed the channel! What's this, an outtake from "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?"

 One of the most absurd chase scenes of all time!

Equally absurd is the fact that Martha Hyer gets co-star billing, and her character is basically unneeded, and her on screen time amounts to what I'm going to guess is about 10 minutes!

 My favourite part about "Crossplot" is that from this point on, Marla Kugash pretty much grazes herself to the finish!

 All that running around, and Marla didn't get a chance to eat anything for about 20 hours! A girl gets hungry, and she is Hungarian!

After all of that, Gary Fenn finds something to gnaw on himself!!

THE DOLL SQUAD / Feature-Faire Productions - 1973

It's another Monday at The Dungeon with Tabonga!.. I got this Ted V. Mikels flick off TCM lately, so, time to check it out. The story is pretty simple, it's about a squad of beautiful government agents whose job it is to catch a group deadly saboteurs, what else?! Ted was also responsible for stuff like DR. SEX, THE ASTRO-ZOMBIES, THE CORPSE GRINDERS, CHILDREN SHOULDN'T PLAY WITH DEAD THINGS, THE WORM EATERS and TEN VIOLENT WOMEN.

It starts with the with the explosion of our latest rocket during its launch!..

Eegah!! sent over a sound clip of the James Bondish theme from this flick for us to check out, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button there by the big canister of germs, NOW, Ralphie The Tarantula! Here's our audio offering for... THE DOLL SQUAD

Here's Dungeon hero Anthony (THE MIGHTY GORGA) Eisley with his government pal watching the launch, moments before the rocket is blown to High Hell!

Here's a guy in Texas, publically intimidating anyone that doesn't agree with his red state gun rights! Just kidding, this is a paid assassin putting a bead on the lead Doll, Sabrina. No, but, that really happened in Texas...

Here's top billed, Syrian born Michael (IT'S ALIVE) Ansara as Eamon, head of a crime ring with an army, making a call to his inferiors to cause more trouble.

And, here's our pal Rafael (THE ASTRO-ZOMBIES) Campos as pill popping informant, Rafael! That way, no one would get his name wrong during shooting!

The Dolls show up and put Eamon's unprepared but sharply dressed army dudes to shame!

Here's that canister of milk, err... germs, that I mentioned earlier!

Eamon catches Sabrina, played by Francine (SPACE MONSTER) York, taking pictures in his house, so, threatens to deep six her! But, two minutes later, they're making up and out!

Sabrina knocks Eamon onto the floor and pours ice water on him, then electrocutes his ass!

The coup de grâce comes in the form of a gladiator sword through Eamon's bleeding heart!

Tura (FASTER, PUSSYCAT! KILL! KILL!) Satana shows up to help Sabrina put an end to all the madness!! Tune in Wednesday when Eegah!! will have something new for us!
